Introducing
The SMWS A Pure Belter 28.120: A limited
edition whisky distilled at Tullibardine
distillery and bottled to toast
Scotland's World Cup return and it is
available to all not just society
members.
Introducing The
SMWS A Pure Belter 28.120 — a
limited-edition whisky distilled at
Tullibardine Distillery on the 12 May
2015 and bottled to celebrate Scotland's
return to the World Cup. Best of all, it
is available to everyone, not just
Society members.
A special half bottle of whisky, ideal
for Scotland fans heading to America
this summer, has been created to mark
the nation’s long-awaited return to
football’s biggest stage.
With less than eight weeks to go until
Scotland's first World Cup match in 28
years, this limited-edition release is
the perfect companion for supporters
travelling to the US or enjoying the
action from home.
Bottled in honour of Scotland's dramatic
qualification, A Belter for America
comes in a 35cl half-size bottle
featuring a label design inspired by the
now-iconic overhead kick against Denmark
at Hampden Park — the goal that helped
launch Scotland's road back to the World
Cup.
The name is a playful tribute to Letter
from America by Scotland's other famous
exports, The Proclaimers, making this
whisky a fitting travel companion
wherever fans are watching this summer.
Released by The Scotch Malt Whisky
Society (SMWS), the world’s leading
whisky club, the bottle is one of two
limited-edition expressions created to
celebrate Scotland’s return to the
global stage for the first time since
France 1998.
A Belter for America has undergone
additional maturation in a 1st fill
Oloroso sherry butt, resulting in notes
of dark roasted coffee beans, chocolate,
caramel and candied fruits. Priced at
£39, it is available now. In a rare move
for the usually members-only club, this
bottle is open to all whisky fans.
The SMWS is known for exploring whisky
by flavour rather than brand, while
keeping the identity of its distillery
sources closely guarded. Each bottle is
labelled with a unique code instead of a
distillery name, and fittingly A Belter
for America comes from Distillery 28 —
surely a lucky number for Scotland
supporters.
Julie Roberts, Innovation Manager at
SMWS, said: "Scotland's qualification
has been a long time coming, but as any
whisky lover knows, good things come to
those who wait.
"A Belter for America is for everyone
who wants to raise a glass to the team,
whether they are watching from a pub in
Edinburgh or making the trip across the
pond. We can't think of a better way to
get into the spirit of the tournament!"
